Subject: RE: Okay beginner's uke for a 5 yr old?
I'll post a picture in a day or two, but Morgan's uke came in today. Oh, boy, was he excited and went to town as soon as we got in the car. He was strumming it, up and down, drumming along the edges, and even made up a couple of songs for me. He sounded great...made my heart sing. The songs sounded a little like twinkle, twinkle, and something about "I don't know." Ya know when you are with someone you really love and are close to, you're doing something really fun and special that you both enjoy and suddenly you look at each other and there is a feeling of things being SO right, just perfect in that moment? We had one of those when he was singing his song to me in the car, today. Just an instant where we looked at each other, smiled, then laughed with the sheer joy of it. What a wonderful feeling! This kid is something special to me!

Anyway, thought you all might like to know...it's a keeper!
